RDC plans musicalby John Weis

They're—it it --adaft! Strangethings are happening in the RoseAuditorium every night.

Next year two newdepartments will join the Rosecommunity — the Chemistry andCivil Engineering departments.What are now the Rose-

Hulman Chemistry and CivilEngineering divisions willbecome separate departmentsby August 1983. At present, theChemistry division is a part ofthe Chemical Engineeringdepartment, and the CivilEngineering division is a part ofthe Mechanical EngineeringDepartment. This breakup willgive the chemistry and civilengineering groups a chance togain their own identity. Thus,each department will prepareseparate budgets and gain anofficial representative at depart-

musical different than "BellsAre Ringing" and "Guys andDolls" that Rose and St. Mary'sput on last year. The play, firstperformed in the 60s, is a storyabout life. Life, that is, as seenthrough the eyes of the two maincharacters, Sir and Cocky. Sir isthe dominant figure and makesno qualms about the facts. Heorders Cocky around andchanges the rules of the "game"at will. Cocky is inferior, or so hethinks and has no choice but toaccept Sir's orders. The gamecontinues as the two strugglewith each other.

Off-campus living encouraged FRANKLY SPEAKING

by David FrankeIn an article in this issue the

Housing Office predicts thatthere will be no problem gettinghousing on-campus for studentsthis year. These students notgetting a room right off thoughwill have to wait through thesummer until they are finallyallowed a room. These peoplewill have very little say as towho will be their roommate orwhere they will live. It is thesepeople and others that Iencourage to consider living off-campus.For three years I've lived on-

campus. and to tell you the truth.

despite all those great momentsof floor fun and the convenience ofbeing at school my year of livingoff-campus has been the mostenjoyable and inexpensive.Living off-campus allows you toset your own rules and live yourown life. You can plan your ownmeals that won't taste mass-produced and cheap like thatserved by the food service andyour eating costs will be muchless than the schools meal plan.You can save money because itreally does cost less to live off-campus and now even more sodue to the increases in room andboard planned for next year.

With all this going for it, itseems natural that so manystudents already live off-campus. It has enough going forit to beat on-campus housinghands down. So in the next monthor so give some serious thoughtto living off-campus.Talk to some off-campus

students and see what they haveto say. Speak with somelandlords in the area and checkthe prices. Discuss it with thehousing office to see if they haveany further ideas. My guess isthat if you choose to live off-campus next year you won'tregret it.

Student Body grades DepartmentsThe Thorn survey, which was

printed in the March 25th issue.had some interesting. if notsurprising, results. One thingwhich was not surprising,however. was the low rate ofreturn. But if Gallop can drawconclusions on a 2% response. socan The Thorn. With this inmind, the results are. at best,sketchy. Those with very fewresponses ( other than "Does NotApply" I, were omitted.

The most obvious trend ( andone not totally unexpected) wasthat students rated their "own"department better than others.The only exception to this wasthe Mathematics Department.which wound up having thehighest rating of any depart-ment. On the 4.0 scale ( 0-Poor. 1-Below Average, 2-Good, 3-AboveAverage, 4-Excellent 1 the MathDepartment earned a veryrespectable 2.61 "g.p.a."Without math majors included.the average rose to 2.65.

Chemistry was the nexthighest rated. earning a "g.p.a."of 2.39 overall. Not including

chemists. this dropped to a 2.29( still considered above "good").It is interesting to note that bothmath and chemistry arerequired for everyone, yet stillretained the best student rating.

The Mechanical Engineeringand Electrical EngineeringDepartments tied with an overallg.p.a. of 1.82. They also tiedwhen M.E.'s and E.E.'s ratedtheir own departments ( 2.75 ) andwhen others rated theirs (1.29 ).

Of all required courses.computer science had thegreatest variation in ratings.While the computer sciencestudents rate C.S. classes higherthan the M.E.'s and E.E.'s ratedtheirs. (3.25, between AboveAverage and Excellent), non-C.S.'s rated it low: 1.31. Overallmainly because the C.S.'s wereoutnumbered by non C.S.'s) thedepartment had a 1.76. not farbehind the E.E. and M.E.department.

In this time of poor economicoutlook and scarcity of jobs. theplacement office earned itself arespectable 2.20 g.p.a. (between

Elections ReopenedDear Members of the Student

Body:Due to the confusion about the

student body elections, they willbe reopened to all interested inrunning for President or Vice-President of the Student Body.At first, I was amazed that onlythree people filed petitions. Iwas under the impression thatall students. faculty and staffreceived information about theelections in their mailboxes.Unfortunately. not all thestudents received a letter aboutthe elections on the first day ofthe Spring Quarter. I don•t knowif this was caused by themailroom. or because theelection committee did not haveenough copies, but I apologizefor the misunderstanding. There-fore, in all fairness. the electionswill be reopened. and I stronglyencourage all those interested.to file a petition. To be eligiblefor President of the Student

Body, you must be a junior witha G.P.A. above 2.5. For Vice-President, vou must be a sopho-more or junior with a G.P.A.above 2.5. The duties of theseoffices are explained in theS.G.A. bulletin board acrossfrom B-119. The following timetable will be used:Wed. Apr. 6 - Petitions available

at switchboard.Wed. Apr. 13 - Petitions due at

switchboard ( 4: 00 p.m.)Fri. Apr. 15 - Primary

electionsTue. Apr. 26 - Final elections.Again. I am extremely sorry

for all the confusion. and I amglad to see enough interestamong students. so thatelections can be run withopposition and with manycandidates.

movies are not yet finalized.On this year's schedule,

however, 'All-Night ClintEastwood' is riding on theincoming stage ( April 16th to beexact). Here is a list of filmsthat are to be shown:

The Good, the Bad, and theUgly; Thunderbolt and Light-foot, A Fistful of Dollars, For aFew More Dollars and Hang 'emHigh.Negotiations are now being

WMUD proposed sending up acubic foot of an alloy of molyb-denum and tin. Mike Handstand,ex-General Mangler explainedthat "MUD is not as far overbudget this year as usual. Thisspecial alloy has just the properdensity to allow us to meet bothmaximum size and weightconstraints simultaneously, thusspending the most moneypossible." This argument wascountered, however, by PeteSolar, who claimed that Moduluscould spend more by not onlyrenting the space on the shuttle,but filling it with cash to beejected into orbit.

On the other hand, there weresome more economical groupswho actually thought of puttingthe opportunity to good use.

The S.G.A. themselves pro-posed putting the SGA President,Tim Kaminandshutthedoorski. inthe shuttle to "see if he'd workany harder in zero gravity," saidVice President Ted Poloshirt.When asked about chances ofsuccess, Poloshirt quipped"Pretty good . . . he certainlycouldn't work much less than hedoes on Earth!"

The Chemistry Departmenthad a rough time finding

Easter giftgoes well

by Geoffery LangeThis has been the third year

the Residence Hall Associationand A.R.A. food service havesponsored the "Give-Up-A-Meal" program. Pete Gustafson,R.H.A. advisor, got the idea in1980 from Eastern IllinoisUniversity which donated 35cents for each person who gaveup a meal. Gustafson turned thisidea over to the R.H.A. at Rose.They liked the program andarranged a $1.01 donation fromA.R.A. for each meal given up.The Easter of 1980 was the firstand most successful "Give-Up-A-Meal;" 444 out of 650 students(or 68 percent) on the meal planparticipated. Since then, it hasbeen sponsored every Easter andChristmas. with about 300 ( alittle less than half 1participating each time.About $350 was raised from

this past Easter's Give-Up-A-Meal. Three hundred nineteen of363 students ( 50.2 percent) gaveup their meals while fourteendonated $1.01 instead of buyingtheir regualr meal. The $3.25pizza buffet. held the same nightby A.R.A.. was operated at costbecause the profits from it werealso donated. A.R.A. makes noprofit from the whole affair.The money that is raised from

each Christmas is donated to theSalvation Army and from Easterto Light House Missions. whichis a charity which houses thehomeless and feeds the hungry.

The R.H.A.. A.R A andcoordinating Rose administra-tion have been pleased with theGive-Up-A-Meal plan programwhich has raised over $1600 in thelast three years. The programwill continue in the future so longas the response continues to be asgood as in the past.

something that would meet thetight size and weightrequirements. Their finalchoice, Dr. Glenn Boxcar, wasconsidered "pound for pound"the best deal. It was rumoredthat Boxcar's Analytical classhad lobbied for the decision.

The Civil Engineering Depart-ment devised a clever con-traption to test if concretecanoes floated in zero gravity.Apparently, as part of a programentitled "Don't Raise theBridge, Lower the Water" theC.E. department is stillsearching for a way to keep theircanoe from sinking.

ARAT Services has designed anexperiment involving severalwhite mice and Texas TommiesI and II. The experiment hassomething to do with there beingno "up" in space, and willinvolve a new physiologicalconcept known only as"throwing radially outward."Upon re-entry, the module willalso test new flame broilingtechniques.

The Mechanical EngineeringDepartment has decided upon aproject with real application.

The ME's propose to measurethe height of the head producedon beer in zero gravity ascompared to Earth. "Somedaythey'll send up an ME and thenthis information will becomevitally important," claimed oneME. The only problem facing theME's at this time is finding away to keep the beer in the glass.The Humanities and Social

Sciences Department suggestedtesting new grading methods inspace. Commented ChairmanTom Thumb "Right now wegrade term papers by theirweight, which wouldn't bepossible in space. Otherpossibilities yet to be testedmight include grading them byvolume, density, mass orpossibly even content." Dr. JackSkinney of the Math Departmenthad a similar proposal, notingthat "dice don't roll well inspace."

Another S.G.A. suggestion wasto send the Thorn staff up byjamming them into the smallspace alotted. Editor JohnMoron noted "that's okay, wework in half that space already."

The ratio of cars to trucksnationwide is three to one.

R.A. selection finalToday is the day that everyone

finds out which residence hall isassigned (or cursed with) whichResident Assistant for the follow-ing school year. The selections,which were only revealed to thecandidates themselves today,will be posted on the Union Officewindow, along with the R.A.'shall assignment.

To many of those who havenever applied, the R.A. and S.A.(Sophomore Advisor) selectionprocess remains a mystery.Actually, the selection processfollows much the same patternas most job interviews.First, interested students

attended an informationalmeeting. This was mainly to giveout general information aboutthe position and itsresponsibilities and also toanswer questions.Those still interested then

completed an application form,as well as had two people whoknow them fill out a recom-m en d a tio n form. Theserecommendations asked theevaluator for his opinion on thequalifications of the applicant,such as his strengths and weak-nesses and whether or not theevaluator felt the candidatewould do well as an R.A. Theseare usually kept secret from theapplicant.

These recommendation formshelped to shape the interviewwhich followed a few days later.Each applicant was interviewedover such things as why he isinterested in the R.A. position,his opinion of school policy, hisexperience with similar jobs orcircumstances, his opinion of hisstrengths or weaknesses, etc.These are also the types of thingscovered on the application form,which had to be submitted beforethe interview.While the interview helped to

evaluate the individual byhimself, a group session helpedto determine how the candidateperforms with others. Separatedinto groups of a half-a-dozen orso, the candidates discussedvarious topics and explain howthey would handle varioussituations. These weremoderated by Tom Miller,Director of Student Life, andmembers of the currentresidence hall staff.Finally, the entire residence

hall staff met to review, discussand add final comments to theapplicants' qualifications. Thefinal selection was then made byMiller.Sophomore Advisor selection

is done in a similar manner,except that the interviews areshorter and there is no groupinteraction.
